在亞洲西部,巴勒斯坦和約旦交界處,有一個(gè)“死海”,。遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)望去,死海的波濤此起彼伏,無邊無際。但是,誰能想到,如此浩蕩的海水中竟沒有魚蝦、水草,甚至連海邊也寸草不生?這大概就是“死海”得名的原因吧。然而,令人驚嘆的是,人們在這無魚無草的海水里,竟能自由游弋;即使是不會(huì)游泳的人,也總是浮在水面上,不用擔(dān)心會(huì)被淹死。真是“死海不死”。
The Dead Sea is located at the border of Palestine and Jordan in the west of Asia. If looked at from afar, the waves of the boundless sea are rolling. However, out of people’s expectation, no fish, shrimps or water plants can survive in the vast sea, and not even a blade of grass grows on its shore. Probably that is why the Dead Sea got its name. Nevertheless. what is more astonishing is the fact that people can swim freely in the sea in which there is no fish and seaweed, and even non-swimmers can always float on the surface of the water and do not need to worry that they might be drowned. It is true that “the Dead Sea is actually alive” in this way.
